Monarchs.....

Hello everyone: I just discovered another challenge blog called Butterfly Challenge. Who doesn't love and appreciate Butterflies? Besides their beauty, I admire their resilience and their strength, specially the Monarch Butterflies, when they migrate back and forth from Southern Canada and North America to the forests of Central Mexico, in an epic yearly migration. You can see a map and a brief report of how this beautiful creatures endure this incredibly long distance trip to a place in Central Mexico which they have NEVER seen HERE.
Ok, after this short introduction, I'm sharing this card I made for the Butterfly Challenge #56, "+O as in OVAL AND OR OLIVE.

I stamped the image onto Canson 140lb. water color paper with Versafine Onix Black ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder then, I colored it with SU markers and the aqua painter, I sponged some Tumbled Glass distress ink for the sky.

Here is a picture of the finished inside.

The sentiment is from Power Poppy's Sassy Succulents, stamped with Tangelo Twist ink.

The butterfly is from a set that has no name or package, I apologize for this, my excuse is that, a long time ago, when I started stamping, I never bother to keep the names or packages of my stuff, back then, having a blog or sharing my cards on the Internet was the farthest thing from my mind.
